    [SOLVED] Something sparked on my GPU and now it buzzes, what do I do?

    This whole ordeal has made me feel like the dumbest person on Earth. I think due to the GPU sparking and not working initially in the PCIE slot, I assumed I had damaged it somehow. But no. I should have started off with the fans instead of spending all that time and money...It was the far left...

    [SOLVED] Something sparked on my GPU and now it buzzes, what do I do?

    I already did test the GPU in my brothers system and with a different motherboard. The problem was present in both my brothers system and my other one with the GPU plugged in. With my brothers GPU in either system, there were no issues of any kind. So I am confident the source of my troubles is...

    [SOLVED] Something sparked on my GPU and now it buzzes, what do I do?

    I have two: 1) The one that I first used is a Coolermaster RS-700. Have used it since 2013 with no issues. Buzzes and ramps up like crazy when the GPU is under load. 2) New PSU I purchased two days ago is a EVGA 750 BQ. Buzzes/ticks intermittenly when GPU is under load and the fans ramp up as...

    [SOLVED] Something sparked on my GPU and now it buzzes, what do I do?

    Oh, I understand now. That's a good point, I didn't try with another PCI/E device in the x16 slot to see if it'd work. But the GPU works in any other slot on the primary motherboard, the all slots on the secondary motherboard and all slots on my brothers. I think I may have just destroyed the...

    [SOLVED] Something sparked on my GPU and now it buzzes, what do I do?

    I did notice that switching to the 8x slot reduced my performance a lot compared to the 16x in the other board I tested. What do you mean by the connective yellow? I was thinking of disassembling the shroud to access the PCB and see what could have blown up/melted on it. I'm thinking maybe a...

    [SOLVED] Something sparked on my GPU and now it buzzes, what do I do?

    Hello I purchased a gtx 980ti the other day and went to install it in my computer. It was late and I forgot to turn off the power switch on the PSU first, so when I plugged it into the PCIEx16 slot, connected the power cables and hit the power button, there was a spark from the rear of the GPU...

    Question System goes ballistic when trying to game

    Hi guys. So I literally swapped my motherboard with another one and even a different processor, but the system is still noisy when at load. I'm at a loss.

    Question System goes ballistic when trying to game

    Hey, I'm getting really frustrated with my system here and would like some advice/help. I have an asus z87 deluxe dual motherboard that I purchased in 2013, no issues until a couple years back when the audo jacks just stopped working and I resorted to using the built in bluetooth. That...

    Question About to lose my mind with PC errors

    Update: So in case anyone else in the future has these problems, I think I figured out what it was. My memory sticks were not inserted all the way into the motherboard. The system would always refuse to run all four DIMMS and would only accept two, sometimes even just one. I somehow never knew...

    Question 3400G vs 3600X with GPU

    Okay. My plan is to upgrade the CPU down the line to the next generation apu's when they come out(hopefully AM4) as well anyway. Thank you remixislandmusic!

    Question 3400G vs 3600X with GPU

    So there is no PCI-E bandwidth limitations? If so, I'll purchase the 3400G right away.
